Just came across this on facebook, a video about a wheel claper that has been hitting headlines in NP. To be fair, in the text, and final minute of the video, he presents some well balanced views. http://www.youtube.com/watch!v=PaZJF9NOPqo

Evidently there is a clamper (I think in Chch ) who is being investigated by the Police. Doesnt have a security permit and is charged with assault. Name is Clout. Its really time these clowns were licensed.

It's my understanding that KCL Propertieshire this clown to do this. All I do in return is boycott the Richmond Centre, have done for years. If he clamped my car I would gas cut them off.

I thought there could be a pinga generating opportunity for someone with a suitably equipped vehicle and a cell phone. His equipment would consist of primarily a battery powered angle grinder fitted with a cutoff wheel. After a bit of practice I thought he??

Too risky- could get sued for damage to the clamper. Better somebody equiped with a jack and a universal wheel bracethat can remove the wheel with clamp in position.

If our vehicle is clamped illegally, would it help if we clamp the clamper's vehicle until he undoes ours!

Though some of those wheel clamps actually cover the wheel nuts, meaning you can't take the wheel off either.

I have a 500 watt angle grinder and a 1500 watt inverter in my boot. I could hire them out for $10 while I take photos of the clamper.

So, National's policy of 'self-regulation' for the clamping crooks is working, eh!

i like when clampers say if you do not pay up you will be towed,,,, wrong, wrong wrong,,,no tow firm will hook up a car if the owner is at the car. all you need to do is sit in the car,, they cannot ask you to get out of the car. my mother's friend got clamped at westfield. i told her not to pay the clamper and sit in the car. then i rang westfield and asked for the manager,, i told him if the clamps were not removed i would be coming to see him . the clamp was removed

I quite like the concept of having some suitable product stored in the car like 5 minute Araldite to squirt into the locks so he has to cut them off due to not being able to insert the key.

There is a guy overseas (U.K I think) that does this for free, wears a superhero costume as well! Have a look on youtube and you will likely find him.

Apparently all you have to do is to deflate your tyre and the clamp will come off.
